Hyderabad: Criticising Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekha Rao, Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday said that the Telangana government has become a “symbol of corruption”. Addressing a press conference on the second day of BJP's National Executive meeting, Goyal said people want a change while taking a veiled jibe at Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao over dynastic politics.

“The Telangana government has become a symbol of corruption. It is the members of the same family holding key positions in the government. People want a change,” Goyal told reporters.

The Union Minister accused the KCR-led Telangana Rashtra Samithi of corruption in the state. He said people of the state had a lot of hopes and the state government has failed to live up to its expectations.

“Telangana was formed after several years of struggle by the BJP. Lakhs of people became a part of the struggle, hoping to make it the number 1 state of the country, but sadly, the TRS government has dashed the hopes of the people,” he added.
